Additional Resources For Dealing With Probate In Colorado

Dealing with a probate property can be confusing, especially if you haven’t done it before and are unfamiliar with the process. This guide will walk you through exactly how to sell your property during probate, and how to complete the necessary paperwork to get the title into your name so you can have the authority to execute the sale.

Step 1 – Become The Executor For The Estate By Getting A Letter Of Testamentary

A Letter of Testamentary—sometimes called a “Letter of Administration” or “Letter of Representation”—is a document granted by a local court. The document simply states that you are the legal executor for a particular estate and that you have the ability to act as such. In order to get the letters of testamentary from the court, you will need to show proof of the living will of the relative who has recently passed, giving you authority over their estate. You must fax, email, or send copies via regular mail to the probate court, or show up in person to your local city hall, and then they will provide you with the letters of testamentary that authorize you as the sole executor over the recently deceased family member’s estate. Once you have the certified letter from the courts along with the death certificate, then you will be able to execute the sales on the behalf of their estate. Pro tip: Be sure to obtain several copies of the letters of testamentary, as sometimes the banks and other institutions you will be working with will want to keep a copy for themselves.

Step 2 – Get Copies Of The Death Certificate

The next step in the process of selling your inheritance property during probate is to obtain copies of the death certificate, which will be required along with the letters of testamentary to give you the required authorization to conduct real estate transactions, banking, and other commerce on behalf of the deceased person’s estate. This is probably the easiest document to obtain, as it’s readily available. The letters of testamentary are the most difficult and time-consuming to obtain because you have to deal with the local courts at city hall which oftentimes can be extremely time-consuming and frustrating.

Step 3 – Execute The Sale

Once you have both of the documents mentioned above, you now have the necessary authorization to conduct transactions in the name of the estate. All you have to do is bring copies of the letter of testamentary along with the death certificate, and you can now act as the executor of the estate, selling real estate and other personal property that was left behind in the living will. All of the funds from the sales during this process typically go into an escrow account with a federal tax ID number, and it’s treated like a business entity that has to pay taxes to the government.
